Computer network with recent technology to provide building in Hawaii (5)
I believe the answer is:
lanai
'building in hawaii' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'computer network with recent technology' is the wordplay.
'computer network' becomes 'LAN' (abbreviation for local-area network).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'recent technology' becomes 'ai' (AI is an example. I am not sure about the 'recent' bit.).
'lan'+'ai'='LANAI'
'to provide' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lanai that I've seen before include "Hawaiian living area" , "Hawaiian veranda" , "Place where Hawaiians live" .)
